    Mine with 265/70/17s:

    MPG went from 21.5 to 19.5; probably knocked 15mph off the top end, but still runs with our 80 mph traffic.

    If I were to stay with this tire size I'd still consider regearing to 4.88s just because the transmission shift programming is so biased towards fuel economy - early upshifts. BUT - if I'm going to do that...why not go to 5.29s and be done with it? Do 33s or stay with 31s, either way the transmission will be happier and the shift pattern will not be so obvious since the gears will allow the engine to pull the truck better.

    Awesome, it looks good with the 31s. Do you have any lift on there or level kit or is that bone stock

    Bone stock.

    Here are some 305/70/16s on '93 TLC wheels (16x8):

    That wheel-tire combination cleared everything when turning (bone stock) but the wheels rubbed on the brake calipers. Spacers would solve the rubbing, but would likely cause tire rub on the body somewhere.

    Looks Really good. What else did you do besides the leveling kit? Did you add any aftermarket suspension parts or anything or did you just do the 3/2 level kit And add tires

    U went 265\70\17 bf g with the sema 4 runner wheels. Biggest you will get without rub on an sr. I added mudflaps to the front and it hits at full lock now. The weight was almost the same at your stockers. I haven't noticed much of an mpg hit still get 20-22mpg. There is a huge thread on here about that combo somewhere.

    If you run stock wheels or wheels with a similar backspace and offset to stock then you should clear 265/75R16s without any lift, might just have to trim or remove the mud flaps. The Falken wildpeak at3 looks really nice and they are pretty light in the standard load range too, shouldn't impact mileage much.
